"A special cell formed to look into such complaints is investigating the matter to ascertain the veracity of the charge," Sub-Divisional Police Officer Nrusingha Charan Swain said.
This is the first case in Kendrapara that is being probed under the Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013. Since the act came in force last year, no complaint has been lodged, sources said.
Based upon the complaint of the woman, the cell headed by a woman police inspector is conducting inquiry into it. After the cell submits its findings and recommendation, legal action would be initiated.
